Hello all, I’ve been at in my current role for a year and a half now (HR Ops Administrator), I interviewed for an HR Associate role within the same company, with a 63K-72K pay range, 5% bonus every year. Due to changes within the organization the role was eliminated. I was approached with a “Network HR Associate” role instead but haven’t received any information regarding the pay range for said role. Anyone familiar with the pay scale for such a role? In Jacksonville, FL?

Expecting an offer, which I’m excited for but after the interview I realized that this division is 98% start up. The title is Sales Associate however the responsibilities beyond selling are: build the sales program; responsibility for all admin; education of staff including developing and conducting training regionally; creating marketing and promotion campaigns; reporting and measurement of staff performance involved in sales. No direct reports. What is an appropriate title and salary range?

I’m one half of an in-house legal team. I followed my attorney to this company because he’s the best boss I’ve ever worked with. We are looking to add a third person, an associate. I get to be part of the interviews because the day to day work will mainly be done with my assistance and my boss rightly understands that I need to like the person. What should I ask? I’ve never interviewed anyone above me. Basically just want to know they aren’t a jerk to staff.

Hi all,
I might have an interview with BCG London for a Senior Associate position soon. Just got a referral and submitted my cover letter. Any tips to prepare for the interview (kind of cases, what fit questions I can expect, number of rounds and turnaround time etc.) would be really helpful.
A bit of my background: worked in KPMG for 2 years, did a MiM at LBS, now at a procurement specialist in London. I have practiced cases during college, but away for a year.

There’s a position I want to apply for that requests one more year of experience than I have. I’m considering still applying for the position, because, why not? I have a friend who is a junior associate at the firm and am wondering if I should submit through the friend, or if it would be better to submit directly. I don’t want to put the friend in a position of recommending someone the firm may feel is not qualified. Any thoughts? TIA

Hi all! I just got a Senior tax associate role in industry ($85k, MCOL; 17% more than I currently make). Enjoyed the people I interviewed with; my only hesitation is that the company itself has had a rough couple of years (healthcare company, had a few bad acquisitions that they’ve since shed off). Their busy season is just January and early February, with their team working until about 7 PM during the week and a few Saturdays. I’m interested, but it’s also my 1st offer; what would you do?

How many rounds of interviews do firms usually do for laterals? I have a first round coming up with a co-chair, partner and associate in the group I’ve applied to, but it’s unclear whether that’s just a screener/I’d have to do callbacks. If relevant, I’m being poached by a partner that just joined from my current firm so my understanding was that I’d be fast-tracked.

Hi guys. So I’m currently an AM in Audit (Private Equity) with KPMG. Got an audit Mgr role with BDO and also interviewing with a top PE firm for a Valuations Associate role. I strongly think I’ll get an offer but I need to accept/reject my BDO offer asap as I’ve stalled for too long just to buy time for the PE recruitment process to be finalised.
Need to decide if I should reject the BDO offer and risk waiting on the PE offer to sail through or being jobless if I don’t get the PE role. Thoughts?
